The mission of the Committee on Community Service is to strengthen Princeton's tradition of "In the Nation's Service and the Service of All Nations." We affirm the value of community service, and encourage and recognize participation by Princeton regional associations, classes and affiliated groups. We envision a society wherein community service is recognized as invaluable to the general welfare and a meaningful educational experience for all students and alumni.

Calling all Tigers for Community Service!

Join the thousands of Princeton alumni who are active in community service projects in their local communities for a joint day of community service with classmates, regional association members, and the Association of Graduate Princeton Alumni for Spring into Service from March 21 through June 21.
